Police were called at 1:32 p.m. Monday to the 2000 block of Federal Street to investigate a reported shooting.

Officers found 53-year-old Mackinley Williams with at least one gunshot wound, police said. Williams died of his injuries, police said.

"I'm not sure where the victim was coming from or going, and right now we don't know the motive for this shooting," Baltimore police spokesman Jeremy Silbert said.

Detectives recovered video surveillance footage of the crime from a nearby camera and are asking for the public's help in identifying the man.

"We're asking for the community's help at this point in our investigation. This happened (Monday) during the day, around 1:30 in the afternoon, so we believe that there were other people out in the area who may have saw something or heard something, and we're asking for them to come forward," Silbert said.

Detective hope someone will recognize the person in the video. Police said one way to help is by texting tips.

"This tip line allows people to send information directly into the hands of the homicide detective, whether you have a tip, whether you have a picture, whether you have a video, any information that you feel is important you no longer have to pick up the phone and call. You can use the phone to text," Silbert said.

Anyone with information on Williams' death is asked to call 410-396-2100. Callers wanting to remain anonymous can call the Metro Crime Stoppers tip line at 866-7LOCKUP, or text tips and video to 443-902-4824.
